My kitchen floor is a white inexpensive no-wax linoleum floor. It is about 10 years old. The areas of high tracking are very dull and harder to get clean. Does anyone have a favorite cleaner or any tips?
I mop with pine-sol and once in while I use bleach water.=)
circulate to abode Depot and purchase some crud cutter and attempt those issues. that's by potential of all of the cleansing products. 1st i might attempt it in a close-by which you won't be in a position to determine all of the time. those issues cuts surprisingly much each little thing and it works reliable on incredibly difficult clothing stains additionally.
Use ammonia and water and strip off all the old wax and other crud. You'll see an immediate improvement when it gets dry. Go to any dollar store and get a bottle of Johnson's No-wax Floor Wax, and use it. ($2.00)
Clean it with any floor cleaner you prefer. Rinse it well. Then use Mop n Glo on it. The shine has worn off and this will put a shine back on it.
Dr Bronner's Sal Suds would be my first choice, but any cleaner intended for floors will work. Getting down on hands and knees with a brush for those traffic areas might be necessary. Once it's really clean, wax it. I know it's a no-wax floor. That only means that you don't have to wax it for it to look shiny, and that's only good until some areas get some wear and the shiny top layer is gone. At that point, the duller areas tend to hang onto dirt easier than the shiny surface did. Waxing will restore the shine and keep dirt from building up on those dull areas. You can wax it with any liquid acrylic floor wax that you buy at a supermarket, such as Future, but I would highly recommend getting a similar professional product. Around here, Home Depot sells some excellent products. They come in gallon bottles so it's a bit of an investment at first but cheaper in the long run, and the stuff gives a shine you won't believe and lasts better. Janitorial supply places will have the same kind of stuff too. It's best applied with a string mop or a cloth. Two coats on a dull floor is a really good idea. Wax on a floor means that the wax wears off, not the floor surface, so keeping it waxed can help prolong the life of the floor.
